Does catheter ablation improve long-term freedom from atrial arrhythmia in patients with atrial fibrillation?
Catheter ablation is an effective long-term strategy for atrial fibrillation, though achieving durable freedom from arrhythmia often requires multiple procedures.
Catheter ablation is an effective and durable long-term therapeutic strategy for some AF patients. Although significant heterogeneity is seen with single procedures, long-term freedom from atrial arrhythmia can be achieved in some patients, but multiple procedures may be required.
